Utah’s west desert, dry, dusty, and barren. Sporadic small mountain ranges separated by playa that make up the expanse of western Utah, Nevada and California, the basin and range province is not a place that is usually stopped at for recreational purposes. It’s often too hot to stick around during the summer, as temperatures can hang around 100 degrees. But if temperatures remain cool, there are places within the desert that are completely unique to Utah, and likely unique to the rest of the world. All easily within the reach of an adventure from Salt Lake City.
